I think I may have typed before that I sailed out of Oban on her on a trip to circumnavigate Staffa and see Fingals cave and as we did so mendelssohn`s hebrides overture was played over the tannoy system..
We visited Oban etc last spring by Morgan. Our tour of the islands was not quite as romantic as doing it by steamer but we loved it.
